Default Should everyone invest?

Hey there, I'm a lower-class young guy, no really wealthy people in my background, never had much money saved, etc. I'm working on increasing my income and making sure to spend less than I make, but then I have to figure out what to do with the extra money.

Now, I don't know anything about investing, I don't know nor care about the business world, and I don't have much time to waste. Is it still a good idea to find some way to invest my money? Something that doesn't require attention or knowledge? Basically, is it always a good idea to invest, or is it a zero-sum game where for every winner, there's a loser? I really don't know how this business thing works, but I know that doing it irresponsibly can lose you money, or lead to bubbles that pop eventually.

So mostly, what I want to know is, if everyone invested their savings, would it be sustainable and good for the world? And if so, where can I find a simple guide for beginners?
